Trump Calls UK Bombers “Losers”… Says “Monster” Is Too Good for Them

President Donald Trump responded to the suspected terror attack in Manchester, England, where an explosion Monday evening at an Ariana Grande concert killed at least 22 and injured at least 59, by deriding the then-unidentified perpetrators as “evil losers.”

“So many young, beautiful, innocent people living and enjoying their lives murdered by evil losers in life,” he said Tuesday morning while speaking in Bethlehem alongside Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas as part of his nine-day overseas tour.

“I won’t call them monsters, because they would like that term,” he continued. “They would think that’s a great name. I will call them, from now on, losers, because that’s what they are — they’re losers.”

Though some whiny liberals have since complained about the president’s choice of words, with one toad going so far as to call Trump himself the real “loser,” most Americans likely understood exactly why Trump chose to call the perpetrators “losers” versus “monsters.”

In a column for The Daily Wire, Ben Shapiro explained that the word “monsters” would have empowered the vile killers — who it was later learned was just a lone wolf Muslim man — and their peers in the Islamic State group and similar terror organizations by making them sound big and powerful.

But “(i)f you have to blow up 13-year-old girls listening to teeny pop material, you’re not a powerful ‘monster,'” Shapiro noted. “You’re a worm, a feeble piece of human refuse.”

One who should be described “with contempt” and “scorned, derided, mocked, and treated as small,” he added. “They’re not martyrs, they’re not warriors, they’re not victims. They’re evil losers.”

They’re also people who need to be driven out of society, as the president explained later in his speech, according to a White House transcript.

“The terrorists and extremists and those who give them aid and comfort must be driven out from our society forever,” he said. “This wicked ideology must be obliterated, and I mean completely obliterated, and innocent life must be protected. All civilized nations must join together to protect human life and the sacred right of our citizens to live in safety and in peace.”
